The race, in words
Andreas Lamotte finished 668th of 859 men in the Open division at Katowice 2026, in 1:37:57.
If there was time left out there, it was on the sandbag lunges, 2:59 behind the median. A harder second half: 5:02 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Katowice gave the field time back: about 1:43 faster than the average race this season, by 713 athletes who raced both. That was 1:39 off the time at Cologne 2025.
